Childhood obesity has become a major medical issue in the United States and it affects the children of our uniformed service members as well.
Childhood obesity among children aged 6 to 11 more than doubled in the past 20 years and more than tripled among adolescents aged 12 to 19. A 2005 survey reported 19% of DoD dependent adolescents are obese.
When it comes to childhood obesity, a preventable health concern, parents, communities and schools must work together to educate children on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
Nothing is more important than making sure we have Healthy Youth for a Healthy Future!
